17th March Solar FDs

Post by Carbon60 »

A little bit late, but here are some FDs from 17th when the afternoon sky opened up with lovely large areas of blue after a dreary grey morning, although the seeing was really quite poor from my driveway imaging over my neighbour's roof.

CaK captured on a Altair Astro Lightwave 72mm/F6 with a Lunt B1800 module and Omega filter, Basler acA2440-75um camera and a 1.5x Barlow.

Unfortunately it looks like we're in for grey skies for the next week.

Thanks for looking.

Stu.
